Summary: Deja and Josiah are seasonal best friends. Every autumn, all through high school, they’d worked together at the world’s best pumpkin patch. They say goodbye every Hallowe’en, and they’re reunited every September 1st.

But this Hallowe’en is different. Josie and Deja are finally seniors. It’s their last season at the Patch, their last shift together - their last goodbye.

This book is super cute. 

I am definitely a Josie. Having friends like Deja is stressful as heck. They always want to just do things and I’m over here like please no, I need at least one full week prior notice for any and all excursions, adventures, and/or dates, thank you!

I love the art in this book, the colour palette is so great. Super chill and inviting, it really does evoke an October in the pumpkin patch kinda feel. 

Overall, I would rate this book at 7.5/10 stars.
